Cheng Nian'an nodded: "Yes, it is the Wang family, including the Nine Gates. Almost everyone thinks that the Wang family is the secret of immortality that Wang Canghai discovered because of his own chance. In fact, it is not entirely true. Only the initial one was discovered by him, and the rest were all transactions with the evil spirits."

"Because the evil spirit wants a large amount of blood from the ancient bloodline holders to assist its resurrection, but the Zhang family managed by Zhang Qiling for several generations is like an egg without cracks, and there is no chance to enter the Zhang family ancient building with strict management and many traps. So he needs someone to set up a trap to break the hard shell. And this person is Wang Canghai."

Cheng Wei probably knew something about the deal between Cheng Shuyu and the Wang family, so he quickly guessed the follow-up based on what he knew: "So, Wang Zanghai was able to survive in the Queen Mother Palace and the ancient Dongxia Kingdom because of Cheng Shuyu's help behind the scenes, and she is actually the real leader of the Wang family now. Since she has already brought down the Zhang family, why hasn't she stopped her plan?"

"Because the needs of evil spirits are endless." Zhang Qiling lowered his head and looked at the young man's trembling hand grasping his sleeve, pulled it over and held it in his own hand, and replied to the question asked by Cheng Wei.

Cheng Nian'an watched the interaction between the two and for some reason he always felt a little jealous. His childhood wish was to steal the young master home and make him his own brother, although he was still ignorant when he made this wish.

When he grew up a little, he realized that this wish was unrealistic, so he changed it. If he could not become as powerful as the young master in the future, he would marry a wife as powerful as the young master.

Later, this wish was also unfulfilled after Cheng Shuyu destroyed the Cheng family and the young master fell into a deep sleep. He had been looking for the reason for the destruction of the Cheng family and a way to wake up the young master for thousands of years, and had no time to take care of his own life events.

He suddenly felt a little jealous when he saw Zhang Jiaqi Ling, who was two or three thousand years younger than him, being so open about their love.

Humph, having a wife is a big deal, but this wife hasn’t said a word for a long time. She must be a fool. She is definitely not as capable as his young master, so he is not jealous!

Zhang Qiling finally held Cheng Ji's hand. He had wanted to hold it just now, but the little fox seemed a little restrained in front of its tribesmen. Along the way, it even refused to let him hold its hand. He finally managed to hold it, but it broke free many times.

In his opinion, the demise of the Zhang family had nothing to do with the young man. However, ever since he had memories from three thousand years ago and knew what his clansmen had done, he seemed to have an inexplicable sense of guilt towards the Zhang family. This was not what he wanted to see.

However, after they made contact, Zhang Qiling was in a much better mood. He said a few more words than usual: "She made a deal with the evil spirit, which was like courting disaster."

Cheng Nian sat back in his seat, picked up the slightly cold tea, and just after taking a sip, he heard Zhang Qiling's explanation and added a few words: "Yes, because this formation itself is a forbidden formation. What I drew is the remaining formation that was destroyed by her after the summoning contract was completed. The version she drew at the beginning is not surprising. The most complete set."

"This saves her a lot of trouble in summoning, but the essence is the same. This evil spirit accepted the contract in order to be resurrected. To be resurrected, it would take thousands of people with the blood concentration of the young master, not to mention the ancient bloodline holders whose blood has been passed down for so long that it is already too thin to be considered decent."

Cheng An was also stunned when he heard this huge number. He frowned and raised the question that he had been holding in his heart: "The blood concentration of Aji and I is about the same. If Cheng Shuyu wants to make a move, he should go to me first. Why go to a far place instead of a near one?"

"Because the evil spirit's level is not high enough, it cannot absorb such a high concentration at once." A strange voice came over and explained to several people.

Cheng Nian'an raised his head and squinted his eyes to look towards the source of the voice. It was the secretary of the head of the Zhang family who spoke.

Seeing that they still hadn't reacted, Cheng Ji lowered his voice and continued to explain: "The formation drawn by Cheng Shuyu has a drawback, which is that it will be affected by the blood concentration of the contractor. Before Cheng Shuyu's blood concentration suddenly increases, he will not summon big evil spirits, but only small fish and shrimps. He can't kill your young master, not because of the grudge, but also because of his insufficient level."

Cheng Ji used the teacup on the table as an example, and continued, "Just like this teacup and teapot, if I pour tea from another identical teacup into it, it will be easy to fill the teacup, but if I pour water from the teapot into it, it will not be able to hold the entire pot of tea. The principle is the same."

Cheng Ji raised his hand and poured the water in the teacup into the soil of the potted flowers and plants placed on the table for decoration. After pouring it out, he turned the teacup upside down on the table and continued, "He has been here for thousands of years. The blessing of the formation is weakening. He can only absorb less and less at a time. But resurrection is equivalent to feeding this pot of grass cup by cup, making it bloom. Even if Cheng An is killed and placed in front of the evil spirit for it to absorb, it can only absorb a little, and he can't absorb anymore."

"But she didn't let you go. She controlled the Zhang family just to throw you to the evil spirit at the crucial step of its final resurrection. Because the last absorption requires absorbing a lot at once, but now the only ones who meet the requirements in this world are you and your sleeping young master."

Cheng Ji's words made a lot of things clear. Several people present showed expressions of sudden enlightenment. Only Cheng Nian'an stood up with a solemn expression, pointed his sword at Cheng Ji, and spoke word by word: "The Zhang family cannot know such detailed information. The records in this regard have long been burned by the young master. Even Cheng Shuyu stole the young master's notes to draw it. She killed everyone who knew this thing."

"So, who are you anyway?"
